Post Malone will headline Coachella 2025, Rolling Stone can confirm.
The musician, who announced his Big Ass Stadium Tour on Tuesday, will kick off his performance run with headlining slots at the festival on Sundays, April 13 and 20. The performances will mark his return to the desert after headlining Stagecoach earlier this year.
A source tells Rolling Stone that the singer will play a mix of career-defining hits, and some music from his country album F-1 Trillion during a “mind-blowing set” that will serve as a “perfect precursor to his stadium tour.”
Coachella’s other two headliners have yet to be announced.
After Coachella, Posty will headline his North American stadium trek, which will kick off April 29 at the Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah. Jelly Roll will open those shows.
While headlining Stagecoach earlier this year, Malone performed back-to-back country classic covers, and was joined by Dwight Yoakam, Sara Evans, and Brad Paisley, who sang “One More Last Chance” and Alan Jackson’s “Chattahoochee” with him. The Stagecoach set preceded his recent country album, F-1 Trillion, which included collabs with Dolly Parton, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, and Tim McGraw.
F-1 Trillion earned Malone Grammy nominations for Best Country Album and Best Recording Package, while “I Had Some Help” — Malone’s collaboration with Morgan Wallen — was nominated for Best Country Song and Duo/Group Performance.
Post Malone last performed at Coachella in 2018, closing out the Sahara tent that year. During the set, he brought out Ty Dolla $ign for “Psycho” and 21 Savage for “Rockstar.”
Last year’s Coachella was headlined by Lana Del Rey, Tyler, the Creator, and Doja Cat. Interestingly, Stagecoach and Coachella will switch headliners since Del Rey is set to headline the country-focused festival next year.
